Doug Rose and The Green Mamba Jet Car have been burning
up the tracks for over 35 years.

Doug Rose started driving Jet Powered cars back in 1962
When Walt Arfons Hired Doug to drive the famed Green Monster
Jet Car. Doug set track records with Green Monster from
one end of the country to the other. Until Doug had a near
fatal accident when his Jet Car hit a guardrail in 1966,
as a result of the accident Doug lost both of his legs.

Doug decided the accident was not going to stop him from
doing what he loved to-do best, and that was driving fast
cars and setting track records. So Doug built The Green
Mamba Jet powered Car. Through the years Doug won over 3,700
races, and was the National Jet Car Champion 11 times.

Doug is pushing now 70 years old and yet he still entertains
his fans across the country by burning cars with the Green
Mamba Jet Car.

Ky and Doug used to tour together during the seventies,
and early eighties and have remained friends ever since.
Every year Doug brings his Green Mamba jet car to Minnesota
Where Ky Lives, to put on a half time show on at Raceway
park.

Doug Chains a full size car to The Green Monster. Then fires
up the jet engine. When engine gets up to the right temperature
Doug turns on the after burner. The car turns into a ball
of fire. After about 30 seconds the car starts melting,
sparks, and car parts, fly hundreds of feet into the air.
This is one of the most awesome displays of power I have
ever seen.

The Green Monster is powered by a J46 jet engine out of
a Navy F7U Cutlass Fighter Plane. The engine burns 37 Gallons
of Jet fuel a minuet. The Car weighs 3,318 pounds and has
a top speed of over 300 MPH.
